The posting

As consumers embrace new AI-driven experiences, the LiveRamp data collaboration network exponentially expands the breadth and accuracy of the data on which marketing AI capabilities operate, powering deeper customer insight and measurable performance on a global scale. LiveRamp is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with offices worldwide. Learn more at LiveRamp.com http://LiveRamp.com.

Activation is the foundation LiveRamp is built on: the rails that move petabytes of audience data, every day, safely and reliably, into hundreds of media, cloud, and measurement destinations — OpenAI, Meta, Google, Amazon, The Trade Desk, TikTok, and beyond. Nearly every other product at LiveRamp, including our AI and agentic capabilities, depends on this pipeline to deliver value downstream. It's market-leading, and it's the single biggest driver of the company's revenue.

We're hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to own it outright: three teams, 20-25 engineers across the US and India, and a clear mandate to modernize the platform — migrating to Temporal, building self-service, and bringing AI-driven workflows to a system already running at massive scale.

Your team will:

- Activation Backend runs the distribution, matching, and refresh pipelines that move > 5 petabytes of audience data to destinations every day.

- Integration Core builds the shared integration platform, quality tooling, and Conversions API framework that every destination is built on. It leads the hardest partner API migrations.

- Integration Feature builds and maintains the individual destination integrations, from the largest walled gardens to emerging channels.

- Together they solve hard problems in throughput, deduplication, partner API compliance, PII and identity-based activation, observability, and cost. They are the front line when a delivery or partner issue affects a customer.

You will:

- Lead about 20 to 25 engineers across three teams in the US and India: Activation Backend, Integration Core, and Integration Feature

- Hire, coach, and grow the engineering managers and tech leads who run these teams Own the reliability, speed, and cost of the pipelines that deliver audience data to destinations every day

- Own the health and roadmap of our partner integrations, including Meta, Google, Amazon, TikTok, DSPs, and cloud platforms

- Lead incident response for activation and integrations, from detection to post-incident review, and drive down P0/P1 volume

- Set the technical direction: migrate workflows to Temporal, expand self-service capabilities, and own the reference architecture

- Cut delivery turnaround time and eliminate duplicate data sent to partners as volumes grow

- Bring AI to Activation through MCP interfaces and agent-driven workflows for customers and internal teams

- Partner with Product, Quality Engineering, Support, and platform teams on priorities, quality gates, and on-call processes

- Represent Activation engineering to executives and to our destination partners' engineering teams

About you:

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience

- 10+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years managing engineering teams Have led 15+ engineers, including managing managers or tech leads, and grown senior technical talent

- Built and operated large-scale distributed data systems in a public cloud, including data pipelines and workflow orchestration

- Owned production reliability for customer-facing systems: on-call, incident response, and root-cause analysis

- Delivered and maintained integrations with third-party partner APIs Have set roadmaps with Product based on business outcomes and delivered on quarterly commitments

- Led teams across multiple countries and time zones

- Communicate clearly with engineers and executives, including on technical trade-offs and risk

- Stay calm and decisive under high customer impact and shifting priorities

Preferred Skills:

- AdTech, MarTech, or data collaboration experience, such as Conversions API, Customer Match, DSPs, or clean rooms

- Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Apache Spark, and Temporal or Cadence

- Led a platform shift toward API-first and self-service

- Applied AI or agentic tools in production or in engineering workflows, including MCP

- Familiar with privacy regulations that apply to consumer data delivery, such as GDPR and CCPA

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
